A woman crashed her car into the glass wall of the Olde Towne Slidell post office Tuesday, injuring four people waiting in line inside, police said. Slidell Assistant Police Chief Kevin Foltz said that the driver, Bernestine Faciane, and two adults inside the office were taken away from the scene by ambulance.

Two children were driven to the hospital in a private vehicle.

The car drove across a sidewalk and into the glass, shattering two large panes and knocking over mail boxes and shelves. The car, though, appeared to have minor damage.

Faciane is about 70 years old, Foltz said, and she told police that she believed her brakes had failed.

Foltz said investigators believe she mistakenly pushed her gas pedal while parked outside the post office on Second Street.

No citations will be issued in the accident because it occurred on private property, he said.
